King's Lynn Town Guides

King's Lynn Town Guides

Nine hundred years of maritime trading history are preserved in the historic core of King's Lynn. Fine houses, medieval churches and guildhalls, secret courtyards and hidden alleys remain to be discovered with the King's Lynn Town Guides.

Situated as it is on the bank of the River Great Ouse, the town also has a thriving maritime scene. Fishing boats landing shellfish from the Wash, much larger vessels loading grain for example can all be seen on a guided walk.

Guides are able to take private parties and special interest groups throughout the year. Illustrated talks on the town and guided coach tours of West Norfolk can also be arranged.
